Final Word On The Weekend
This column may be focused on the Premier League, but the story of the weekend occurred in Ireland where Mark Farren became Derry City's all-time leading goalscorer after bagging a hat-trick in the 7-1 FAI Cup quarter-final win over Mervue United. Farren's achievement in usurping Liam Coyle, who famously left Carles Puyol on his arse when Derry played Barcelona at the Brandywell in 2003, is particularly special considering he previously retired from the game after it was discovered that he had a brain tumour. His recovery from illness and return to full fitness is a remarkable story, made complete by the 30-year-old's record-grabbing performance on Friday.

As his side demolished Mervue United 7-1 in the FAI Cup, the 30-year-old scored a superb hat-trick, which took his tally at the Brandywell Stadium to 113 goals, and saw him break the club's all-time scoring record previously held by the legendary Liam Coyle.

Honourable mentions to Messi and Neymar.

Fair paly to whoever the Irish rep on Goalis, he always gets his spoke in. Forrester and at least one other player has been mentioned this seaons in the player of the week (Zayed too)

The goal.com rep is foot.ie poster AlaskaFox, I believe. I don't think I am revealing any secret identities or anything saying that.

Semi-Final draw.

Dundalk v St Pats or Drogheda United

Derry v Shelbourne

More that it's not likely I'll be able to go.

Drogs 1-0 now, anyway.

Drogheda 1 up,Prengergast.

Faherty eqlzs for Pats 1-1 (ffs)

If it goes to penos I'd fancy Drogs - Sava is the better keeper.

It's Penos in the Park :) f/t 1-1

Pats through on pens
